Abstract
Development of novel drug vehicles for vitamin B2 (VitB2) delivery is very important for designing controllable release system to improve epidermal growth and bone metabolism. In this work, selenium (Se)-incorporated polycaprolactone (PCL) spherical polyhedrons are successfully synthesized via a single emulsion solvent evaporation method which is utilized to load VitB2 to fabricate cell-responsive Se-PCL@VitB2 delivery systems. Their physicochemical properties are characterized by DLS, SEM, XRD, FTIR, and TGA-DSC. The release kinetics of VitB2 or Se from the samples are investigated in PBS solution (pH = 2.0, 5.0, 7.4, 8.0 and 12.0). The cytocompatibilities are also evaluated with normal BMSC and epidermal HaCat cells. Results exhibit that Se-PCL@VitB2 particles presents spherical polyhedral morphology (approximately (3.25 ± 0.46) μm), negative surface charge (-(54.03 ± 2.94) mV), reduced crystallinity and good degradability. Stability experiments imply that both VitB2 and Se might be uniformly dispersed in PCL matrix. And the incorporation of Se facilely promotes the loading of VitB2. The encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity are (98.42 ± 1.06)% and (76.25 ± 1.27) for Se-PCL@VitB2 sample. Importantly, it exhibits more prolonged release of both VitB2 and Se in neutral PBS solution (pH = 7.4) than other pH conditions. Presumably, the electrostatic interaction between Se, VitB2 and PCL contribute to its release mode. Cell experiments show that Se-PCL@VitB2 presents strong cytotoxicity to HaCat cells mainly due to the cytotoxic effect of Se anions and PCL degradation products. However, it exhibits weak inhibitory effect on BMSC cells. These note that the synthesized Se-PCL@VitB2 particles can be promising drug vehicles for potential application in epidermal proliferative disorders.

Abstract
Based on the modified cross-linking of the degradable natural polymers chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) and gelatin (GEL) via introduction of a functional bridge 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid, this study constructed an environmentally responsive dinotefuran (DNF) delivery system (DNF@COS-SS-GEL). The introduction of the disulfide bond (-S-S-) endowed DNF@COS-SS-GEL with redox-responsive properties, allowing for the rapid release of pesticides when stimulated by glutathione (GSH) in the simulated insect. Compared with commercial DNF suspension concentrate (DNF-SC), DNF@COS-SS-GEL showed superior wet spreading and retention performance on cabbage leaves with a reduced contact angle (57°) at 180 s and 4-fold increased retention capacity after rainfall washout. Nanoencapsulation effectively improved the UV-photostability with only a 31.4% decomposition rate of DNF@COS-SS-GEL at 96 h. The small scale and large specific surface area resulted in excellent uptake and transportation properties in plants as well as higher bioactivity against Plutella xylostella larvae. This study will help promote sustainable agricultural development by reducing environmental pollution through improved pesticide utilization.

Abstract
The advancement of science and technology, coupled with the growing environmental consciousness among individuals, has led to a shift in pesticide development from traditional methods characterized by inefficiency and misuse toward a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach. Cellulose, as the most abundant natural renewable resource, has opened up a new avenue in the field of biobased drug carriers by developing cellulose-based drug delivery systems. These systems offer unique advantages in terms of deposition rate enhancement, modification facilitation, and environmental impact reduction when designing nanopesticides. Consequently, their application in the field of nanoscale pesticides has gained widespread recognition. The present study provides a comprehensive review of cellulose modification methods, carrier types for cellulose-based nanopesticides delivery systems (CPDS), and various stimulus-response factors influencing pesticide release. Additionally, the main challenges in the design and application of CPDS are summarized, highlighting the immense potential of cellulose-based materials in the field of nanopesticides.

Abstract
The use of pesticides and the subsequent accumulation of residues in the soil has become a worldwide problem. Organochlorine (OC) pesticides have spread widely in the environment and caused contamination from past agricultural activities. This article reviews the bioremediation of pesticide compounds in soil using microbial enzymes, including the enzymatic degradation pathway and the recent development of enzyme-mediated bioremediation. Enzyme-mediated bioremediation is divided into phase I and phase II, where the former increases the solubility of pesticide compounds through oxidation-reduction and hydrolysis reactions, while the latter transforms toxic pollutants into less toxic or nontoxic products through conjugation reactions. The identified enzymes that can degrade OC insecticides include dehalogenases, phenol hydroxylase, and laccases. Recent developments to improve enzyme-mediated bioremediation include immobilization, encapsulation, and protein engineering, which ensure its stability, recyclability, handling and storage, and better control of the reaction.
